A report in The Wall Street Journal claimed to reveal new details about the relationship between the US president and the convicted sex offender, who was accused of sexually abusing dozens of minors before he was found dead in his jail cell in 2019.
Trump strongly denied ever writing the letter and described it as fake news.
Here, The i Paper takes a look at what you need to know about the letter and the resulting fall-out.

A pair of small arcs denotes the woman’s breasts, and the signature is a squiggly “Donald” below her waist, drawn to mimic pubic hair.
Inside the outline of the naked woman was the following typewritten note.
Donald: Yes, there is, but I won’t tell you what it is.
Donald: We have certain things in common, Jeffrey.
Donald: Enigmas never age, have you noticed that?
Trump: A pal is a wonderful thing. Happy Birthday — and may every day be another wonderful secret.“

He told The Wall Street Journal: “This is not me. This is a fake thing. It’s a fake Wall Street Journal story.”
He claimed on his Truth Social account that the newspaper printed a “false, malicious, and defamatory story” and said he instructed Attorney General Pam Bondi to “produce any and all pertinent Grand Jury testimony” related to the case, “subject to Court approval”.
“President Trump will be suing The Wall Street Journal, NewsCorp, and Mr. Murdoch, shortly.”
Trump said on Thursday he has asked Bondi to release “any and all pertinent Grand Jury testimony” on Epstein, after what he called a “ridiculous amount of publicity”.
On Tuesday, the US President said Bondi should release “whatever she thinks is credible” on Epstein.
A refusal to release them sparked speculation that the administration was hiding details of Epstein’s crimes to protect the high-profile figures he associated with, which included Trump.
